I was on a time limit. I was rushed. Venue, finally, check. Now, how the heck do I turn a typical, drab, 2 hour bridal luncheon that every woman dreads attending into a FABULOUS event??? I wanted it to be customized to my Bride and BFF. What does SHE love? Food. Check. Ocean, 180 degree view of ocean veranda, check. Let's ask the Google.....and the result was Gig Salad: Frank Sinatra impersonators. Five came up. I have champagne taste, but I'm on a beer budget. I clicked on the VERY reasonable Michael Sinatra (his real name!). I just needed a quick, come in, woo the bride with 30 minutes of songs, and depart. Simple. What I got that day was nothing short of AMAZING. Mr. Sinatra communicated all the details of my event prior to the event (he's very responsible and attentive). Mr. Sinatra took all of my notes in the contract so that the brides fav's were what he sang (he's customizable to your needs). I did a last minute change and added a song (one he doesn't sing) to my list, changed the order of my original list (did I mention FLEXIBLE?) all so HE could be part of my shower game (he didn't sign up for that!). He advised me he would do his very best to sing that song accurately (totally fair, he could've just declined the change!). So, the day of the shower: He was only booked for 30 minutes, please remember that. Mr. Sinatra had to drive for 1.5 hours to my location (no extra charge). Mr. Sinatra still arrived early (and kept himself hidden as he was a surprise). He silently set up his portable PA speaker system and microphone (WHAT???? I thought he was going to just sing out of his mouth to the girls directly, acapella, since we were at a restaurant! OMG!!! He brought his portable equipment with and old school stand up red microphone from the 50's, dressed in a tux, wing tip shoes, holy cow!!!) He LITERALLY waited in a corner, until we were answering the first game of the brides fave's. ....And her favorite song is.......ENTER Michael Sinatra, red mic in hand, swings aroud the corner, hits his background music, and starts singing "The Way You Look Tonight". He asked the bride to come over to him. He held her hand, looked into her eyes (despite the 20 women staring at him) and sang the entire song DIRECTLY to her. For a moment, I felt like she was cheating.....haha. Her eyes welled up, the giddy smile on her face, and the ocean, food, guests, games, presents, none of it mattered. Mr. Sinatra made my bride feel SO stinking special in that few minutes, she (or us) will ever forget that moment. He continued with his 30 minute set. He adjused the sound while we ate. He even played extra because I wasn't done eating yet (how considerate is that?) and ready for our last song, to play a game. He obliged and played the song he didn't know (and the girls were so rowdy we'd never know anyway!) to a game I made up. He trusted me 100%. I simply said, sing, and I'll do the rest. Mr. Sinatra had no idea he just threw his first bridal shower, haha! Have you ever tried to throw a party, with games, with surprises, at specific timing intervals, WITH A STRANGER? Well, I must say, he and I made a bitchen team that day. The party was rad. Everyone said it was the best shower they'd attended. They'd never had live entertainment, interactive singing games, oh and Mr. Sinatra got all the girls up to do the Rockette's high kicks to "New York, New York!" He ad libbed that, by the way. Then he offered to stay for a group picture? Are you freaking kidding me people???? HE WAS ONLY HIRED/PAID FOR A 30 MINUTE A CAPPELLA SET. This is WHY you TIP people. People that go ABOVE and BEYOND. I cannot THANK him enough. To take a party from drab to fab you only need one ingredient: Michael Sinatra!!!!!!

Wow!!! I'm at a lost for words. Thank you Shellie so very much. Your kindness and generosity was very appreciated. Everyone was so nice. I had an amazing time entertaining Catherine and her friends. You ladies made me feel like part of the family. Thanks again you're the best!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed Michael singing for us. We had a group of roughly 200 people and there wasn't one slightly negative review. Him and his pianist sounded great, they were punctual, polite and extremely talented. I would recommend him to anyone!

I had Michael at my father's 60th birthday dinner. It was a smaller banquet room with about 25 people. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but my dad is a huge Sinatra fan and I figured I couldn't go wrong if he came to sing a few good songs. Well, I was extremely surprised and pleased with Michael's entrainment!!! He totally made the party!! He was fun, engaged with the guests, and had the whole family singing along to the songs. He even managed to get everyone up after dinner to dance!! Everyone was saying it was the most fun they have had in awhile!! Most importantly, my dad was thrilled and said it made his birthday. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone!! He was a stellar entertainer and singer!! Thank you so much Michael for allowing my family to make some amazing memories that night!!

Michael consistently stayed in contact with us for setup and needs. He arrived early and was very professional. The crowd enjoyed his enthusiastic passionate demeanor. We would definitely hire him again!

Thank you so very much Kirsten for having perform at your event. It was a pleasure and a honor to entertain for such a great causes. I had a wonderful time.

Michael was prompt, charming and everyone thoroughly enjoyed his performance. This was my Mom's 90th birthday party and she never stopped smiling during the performance.

Hired as:Crooner

Response from Michael Sinatra:

Thank you so much Donna. It was a pleasure performing for your wonderful mother as well as her family and friends. I had a blast!

Michael sang songs from the 50's and all my guests just loved all of them. He sang songs by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, and lots more. I had several people ask for his business cards. Thank you Michael!!

I was so lucky to find Michael Sinatra on GigSalad! I was planning a 70th Birthday Party for my husband and knew I wanted a Rat Pack Theme and Entertainment. Michael was absolutely perfect! He provided great music during cocktail hour and put on a show for us that was so fun. He had all my guests smiling, clapping and even singing. Michael was very professional. He worked with me with ease which I truly appreciated. His voice is smooth as silk. You won't be disappointed if you hire Michael for your event!

We booked Michael for my 48th birthday party and we are so happy that we did ! He was great to work with , punctual , set up all the sound and equipment perfectly , he sang so beautifully that some of my friends thought I was playing a CD !! We'll definitely have him perform again in our next party !!!

Michael did a wonderful job for our ribbon cutting event. He was timely, professional and personable. He was able to keep the whole crowd engaged, everyone commented how great he sounded and what an awesome performer he was. We would definitely hire Michael for our next event as he was incredible.

I booked Michael Sinatra and his live jazz trio for our corporate retreat awards dinner. Everybody loved them. They were professional and on time ready to perform. the music was high energy entertainment as I requested and they had everyone up and dancing after dinner. We will definitely be hiring them back for future events. Thank you Michael for a memorable night.

Michael Sinatra’s performance was fantastic at my girlfriend’s birthday party! I had never hired a professional singer before and was a bit apprehensive. However, his singing prowess, professionalism and his great personality sold everyone at the party. There was not a single individual who did not leave the party discussing how awesome he sounded. Many of my friends and family are already planning future events to hire him for his entertainment skills. Finally, anyone who is thinking of hiring a Jazz/ Sinatra style singer for their parties would be a FOOL not to pick him! Mr. Sinatra, thank you for making my girlfriend's birthday party memorable.

Sound Check and Rehearsal Time

About two weeks before our performance we will contact the AV/ sound company and go over the technical details about your venue.

In the day of your event we will run a sound check. The sound check requires about 30 to 60 minutes. Setting the sound levels usually takes only about twenty or thirty minutes but we leave extra time in case of problems or for extra rehearsal.
